Chapter 281 - A True Gentleman
After working for a whole day, Ling Pingan stretched his neck.
Then, he opened the web page and logged into the author’s background again.
He saw today’s data.
Nine..
Today’s collection had increased by four.
It seemed..
It was still okay?
The young web author held his chin and thought.
Not bad indeed!
After all, this was the result of a pure newbie without any exposure.
Thinking back to the past, he had just entered the industry and had only collected over twenty collections in a week.
Thus, Ling Pingan happily made himself a cup of tea.
Meow!
The Kitten Bastet also called out intimately, as if congratulating its master.
Ling Pingan touched its cute little brains and then gave it half of the tea.
Then he picked up his phone and ordered some takeout.
Good grades, you have to reward yourself!
By the way, he looked up at the time. It was seven o’clock!
So he turned on the television.
Of course, this was news hour.
“Today is the end of the first day of the college entrance examination… all the examination papers will be sent to the examination department designated for marking…”
“The grading areas of the Guangnan region are in Yao Capital, Jiang City, security, and other places…”
“It is reported that the grading work for this college entrance exam will be completed within three days…”
“In order to ensure that the grading work is fair, fair, and open… the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire has assigned supervisory judges to all the grading areas!”
Ling Pingan looked at it and nodded his head.
Cheating in exams had always been a nightmare that the federal empire could not get rid of.
Therefore, the supervisory judges had become the last line of Defense!
As for the judges, Ling Pingan had the same trust and recognition towards the law.
This was because, in the three hundred years of the Federal Empire’s history, the judges had always played the role of the gatekeepers of the law and the guardian dogs of morality.
Just as he was watching TV, his cell phone rang.
Ling Pingan picked it up and took a look. He quickly turned off the TV and picked up the call.
“Aunty… Where are you now?”
“Ryukyu?”
“Is it fun?”
“Oh… then be happy!” Ling Pingan said, “Well… my place is quite good…”
“What?”
“I don’t want to go out… and I don’t want to go abroad…”
“Just take a few beautiful photos for me…”
“Okay…”
Ling Pingan put down his phone and shook his head. “Don’t try to trick me into going abroad!”
His aunt actually tried to lure him out of the country to go to Ryukyu..
Hehe!
In his dreams!
He didn’t want to go abroad even if he was beaten to death!
And he definitely didn’t want to go on some kind of trip.
What was so fun about it?
Wasn’t traveling just wandering around aimlessly?
Not only would it delay his writing, it would also delay his gaming.
It was really useless. He had no interest in it at all!
It wasn’t like he had never gone out to play before!
When he was in college, he once joined a group during summer and went on some sort of trip to the North Sea.
The others were all happy and took pictures with their cameras.
Ling Pingan sat in the hotel, bored and listless.
There were flowers and plants, lakes and mountains.
He felt like he was in a pond or a hill in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City.
Most importantly, there were people everywhere.
Wasn’t that just wandering around the suburbs of Jiangcheng City?
After that, he decided not to go on a trip.
It was meaningless, a waste of time and money.
He might as well play games and write novels at home!
… ..
Li Anan put down her phone and shook her head. “This nephew of mine…”
She sighed and didn’t know how to comment on it.
Such a beautiful archipelago and such a fun place.
More importantly..
She looked at Chu Weiwei in a bikini on the balcony of the hotel, basking in the sun..
He wouldn’t even come if she asked him to!
“Idiot!” She looked at her phone. “You’re hopeless!”
Just then, Chu Weiwei heard her voice and asked, “Captain, who are you talking to?”
“Nothing!” Li Anan threw her phone on the sofa, then took off her pajamas and walked to the balcony.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the spacious high-rise balcony through the glass window.
The two beautiful girls gently leaned against their chairs and closed their eyes comfortably.
“Little Pingan really isn’t blessed!” Li Anan said.
“Right…” she asked, “Where are we going next?”
Ever since they helped the Jingdou Police Department complete their mission last time, their vacation had increased again.
It doubled from two weeks to a full month of public funded vacation and recuperation.
All expenses were covered by the Blackguard.
Chu Weiwei picked up a notebook and looked at it before saying, “Captain, the next stop for our holiday is the beautiful Xiangshan Islands!”
“The Imperial Pacific Fleet’s Anchorage!”
Li Anan’s eyes lit up as she listened.
Xiangshan Islands!
That was great!
Sunlight, beaches, islands..
She could not help but smile.
Chu Weiwei looked at the words on the notebook and was a little excited. “Captain, the resort hotel that we were arranged for is actually Fragrant Hill Hotel!”
“That’s a place that even the royal family will stay during their holidays!”
Li Anan was also happy.
Fragrant Hill Hotel was the most famous luxury hotel in the Federal Empire!
It was said that a night’s stay there cost 10,000 to 20,000,000 yuan!
“The Blackguard treatment is so good!” She opened her arms wide. “Unfortunately, Little Pingan refuses to go out…”
… … ..
At 7:30 pm, Ling Pingan’s takeout arrived.
Chiba Michiko was very happy today.
She couldn’t hold back the smile on her face.
Ling Pingan couldn’t help but ask, “What made you so happy, Chiba Michiko?”
“Ling-san, my cousin’s application for studying abroad has been approved!” Chiba Michiko was so happy that she was about to jump up and down. “I have to thank you, Ling sang, for your guidance!”
“You’re welcome!” Ling Pingan smiled. “It was nothing!”
Chiba Michiko listened with even more respect. She bowed deeply. “No matter what, I have to thank you!”
“I also have to thank you on behalf of my cousin!”
Ling Pingan looked at her and laughed. “If Chiba-chan wants to thank me, then cook something even more delicious!”
“Yes!” Chiba Michiko prostrated herself in admiration.
In her opinion, Ling-san was simply a perfect gentleman.
A perfect person who had walked out from the words of the ancient sages!
Modest, generous, forthright..
He should be the great guardian!
He should use his conscience and his adherence to morality to benefit the world!
“Oh right…” Chiba Michiko seemed to remember something and said, “Ling-san, when my cousin comes, she might take my place to deliver your meal…”
“I hope you don’t mind!”
As she said this, she bowed again.
“Why would I?” Ling pingan shook his head. “I’m not a big shot!”
Chiba Michiko’s eyes were immediately filled with worship!
A true gentleman!
Such a sage lived in seclusion in a busy city and lived a simple life in such a simple bookstore.
Just as the book said, ‘this is a shabby house, but my virtue is sweet!’!
Just like Master Ziyuan, the disciple of Saint Kong: A Basket of food, a ladle of wine, in a shabby alley, a person can not bear his worries and will not change his joy even when he returns!
A Perfect Gentleman, a true sage!
Thus, she said in an extremely humble tone, “Ling-san, my cousin is called Chiho Fujiwara..”
“She is a student of the capital’s number one high school…”
“Chiho?” Ling Pingan was astonished. Even if he did not know much about Fusang’s history, he knew that this was a surname that was very close to the Royal Family!
“Yes!” Chiba Michiko bowed and said, “My cousin’s grandfather was once the minister of Prime Minister of Fusang…”
This made Ling Pingan confused.
Why would the descendants of Fusang’s prime minister need to apply for the right to study abroad?
Was there a hidden reason?
He thought about it, but couldn’t remember.
There was no other way. The political news of Fusang was rarely reported.
It was said that it was the request of the Fusang Kingdom.
The reason of the people of Fusang was very simple — a small country would not dare to laugh at a big country.
They were afraid that the news of their own country would be reported too much, causing the people of the federal empire to be disgusted and looked down upon.
There was a reason for this — two hundred years ago, the Fusang Kingdom was ridiculed by the Federal Empire as a ‘country of beggars and gentlemen’.
The reason was that Fusang had learned everything from the nobles of the Federal Empire’s imperial capital.
In the end, they had learned nothing.
This had a great impact on the people of Fusang. Thus, when Ambassador Qian Xia arrived in the capital, he made this request to the imperial cabinet at that time.
Stop teasing us..
Alright, this request was fulfilled.
Moreover, until now, the Fusang Kingdom had continuously reiterated this request.
It was a culture of shame!
Ling Pingan could understand this kind of sub-culture that was based on Confucianism.
Thus, Ling Pingan didn’t ask.
After all, one shouldn’t pry into other people’s private affairs.
But in the eyes of Chiba Michiko, this immediately became conclusive evidence of a gentleman.
